and TV shows. My name is James also known as Mr. Sunday. And with me as always is my co-est, Nick Mason. Fresh as a daisy. I feel a bit better. He does feel a bit better. He's looking the same, but he feels better. Thank you.

Thank you for two compliments in a rise. compliments that's right that's right thank you for taking them that way thank you you're welcome and i'm welcome also certainly uh i was a little bit fresher we did record a caravan of garbage audio before this that's right we got pretty rowdy dude you know it was pretty rowdy it was pretty rowdy that's what we said we're in the middle of the recording we're like let's take a minute gentlemen this is pretty rowdy uh but this won't get too rowdy hopefully i think it'll get very it might i'm just looking at what we got coming up and maybe it will we're going to be talking about the long walk, the latest Stephen King adaptation.

That's pretty well. That is at times quite rowdy. It does go rowdy. And on the lead up to that, we've got so much news which you can skip if you want to because there's time codes below. I don't think you should. For each individual section. I think if you don't like the news and you feel compelled to skip it, toughen up. Agreed.

What do you even hear for? The news is the best part. I think so too. Yeah. Our reviews are bad. We don't know what we're talking about. We don't understand. We don't even care.

We're like, what are those guys doing on the screen? It's scary. It's scary, I should say. I don't like this window. My voice is mostly back, but I can't really hit those high notes yet. So if we need a Tom Holland impression, I know you can do it. Okay. If we need to voice Tom Holland in his normal voice, you can do that.

I'll do it at a pinch. I'd rather not, but if somebody has to do it, I will do it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, there was something this week. I don't know if you saw that, but it was a set photo. And Zendaya, famous for being MJ in the Spider-Man movies. And that's it? She had the hoodie all the way up.

And a lot of people are wildly specular. And I'm also wildly speculating. What if she's got the red hair? Bright red hair. That would be. Spider-Man bright red hair, they should call it. Or even, you know, pink hair. They've just gone, we want to, we had the opportunity to fix everything,

but we've decided to make everything worse. Now MJ has pink hair. I think that would just make everybody mad. Yeah. Which is my favorite kind of thing. Agreed, yes. Mason, here's some of the news that we're going to get going on. Is this news?

We could definitely use most, if not all of this news. Is this news the listeners can use? Yeah, you could tell your friends. Tell your friends. See, that's why you shouldn't skip it. Yeah. What else you're going to talk to your friends about? Exactly. Because otherwise they're going to talk. Do you want that?

Or do you want to talk at them? You heard your friends talking? Yuck. Awful. Yeah. Bad opinions. Mm-hmm. You know? Talking about some guy at work you don't know. Exactly. You want to hear about that?

Yeah, work drama. Ridiculous. This go over the food out of my fridge. Talking about a thing you guys did at school ago, like decades ago or whatever. You want to hear it talk about that to them? Yeah. You're like, I don't really remember that man. They're like, good, dude. It was so funny.

You want that? Yeah. Get some new memories. Yeah. Get some new memories. That's right. Do something fun. Do something else fun.

Do something fun in the present day. Yep. I believe in you. I think you can do it. Great. Anyway, you can use all this. Yeah. At first look at Dr. Doom.

That's right. And a potential idea of what the rollout's going to look in terms of the lead-up to Doomsday, marketing-wise. We're going to talk about some kudos to David Zazelab because he's getting big wins. Is he? But what's the future of Warner Brothers? Bad. Some things are in Douse Mason.

I mean, if you look at them far enough in the future, it's alternative. the dust. Oh, no. Yeah, it's just all gone. Everything's gone. Mm-hmm. You know? Or, they evolved into pure energy. David Zazlavs, in his astral form. I would hate that. Oh, that would be the worst. In his puffy vest. Consuming different, I don't know.

Oh, yeah, yeah, like, just just. Just consuming. Yeah, just consuming the energies of the universe, you know, becoming a black hole. Yeah, good. In many ways, all the black holes we observe in space, they're just corporate executives. They've just folded in on themselves. Final form. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Is there something to do with like heads up asses and... It could be, yeah, yeah.

I think it's just the weight of excellent decisions just bearing down on them, you know? That's going to hurt at some point, isn't it? I think so, yeah. There's going to be a sequel, another Jurassic World. We'll talk about that. Terrific. Also, a sequel to a movie that I know you haven't seen probably,

which I'm excited to talk about. It's a Vin Diesel classic. I've seen every Vin Diesel classic. Oh, it's the last witch hunter, too, isn't it? It is. See that one? No. Look bad.

Trailers, Ahoi. Well, Wake Up Dead Man, The Rip and the Super Mario Galaxy movie. If you like me and you're like, I don't know what the rip is. Look it up. Then you'll know. And we'll talk about it. And then Highlander reboot in Jeopardy, Jeopardy. Sure.

And you know on that. Mason. That's the island of Scotland where they're filming it in Jeopardy. Mason, you know. Welcome to Jeopardy. You know about this? What? Oh, so what were you saying?

I was doing an impression. Do you know about this? No, I was doing an impression of somebody, but I don't know who it was. Welcome to Jeopardy. Jeopardy, you said. To Jeopardy, I said. Yeah, cool. Jeopardy Island.

Maybe if you hit the right pitch, you would have known what that was. No, no, no, no. But it came out. I'll never hit the right pitch again. All right. Yeah. Did you go to the Shanghai World Business Studio Studio's Marketing Expo last week? Yeah.

Yeah, how was it? I don't know. I was just stayed in the bar the whole time. Oh, yeah. How was that? Great. Cool. Yeah.

Did you, so you wouldn't have seen this, but maybe you saw it online at first look at Dr. Do you know some guys talking about it? And what did they say? Did they say it looks good? Yeah. Yeah. But I don't trust them. I didn't trust their faces.

So I don't have anything to contribute here. Well, that's okay. I'll just look at it now. Wow. Well, pretty good, right? It looks pretty impressive, honestly. It does. It looks like the comic book, a good and realistic version of that.

You'd hope so. After five tries or whatever. Yeah, I wonder how much of this is CGI and Reels, etc. Because I know there was talk and rumors that it was going to be a stand-in. Yeah. I say after five tries. It's got Shane May alarms. Yeah.

I say after five tries, but like the 90s unreleased one, that Dr. Doom does look very good. The Julian McMarden one's all right as well It's not It's all right It's better than the trash bag one from 2015 It's better than the trash bag one You're right Which is nothing

There was also Did you see there was like a light show That they did Yeah And there was an iconic moment From the Secret Wars comic Yeah I saw it Which

No you didn't Which Is it is it Is it? That's what it is Yeah the guys were telling me about it Yeah okay The fellas

But you believe them this time You probably formed Some kind of camaraderie By that point Yeah we're all best friends Together Yeah yeah We've all got matching tattoos

now. That's cool and good. Let's say, what was the name of the convention? The Shanghai World Disney Studio Marketing Expo. Bros. That's what it says. Our tattoos say that. Full back tattoo. That's good. Yeah.

One word each, like each line all the way down. Across the spine, you'd be like, that sounds painful. But when you're Shanghai, Shanghai Disney Expo Bros, you make that sacrifice. You got it. You simply must. He simply must. I mean, that would never, I mean, that doesn't necessarily. confirmed that that moment from the comic is going to be in the movie.

Yeah. But I think it will. And also it shows that like, wow, this guy's such a big threat that he can kill Thanos with one hand. Yeah. I mean, we don't know for sure he's going to do it to Thanos. Maybe he'll do it to like. I think he will.

I think he'll do it to Juan, may. Maybe he will. Yeah. Easy, though. She's already dead. That's correct. You're already grabbing a skeleton. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, she's probably down to a skeleton now. Maybe get the old lady from the Toby McGuire universe now. I think she's still alive. She is. She is. That actor. Incredible. get the guy who always wants rent

pull his skeleton out Mr. Rent Sorry, my my mom and dad are away And so obviously The group chat is constantly going off What do you mean by that My family group chat

With just like This is happening And this is happening Okay They're mostly My mom loves Oh, I saw them at the Shanghai Disney Expo thing

What? Yeah, yeah, yeah That's where they were Newt notifications Wow Always No Just for the duration of this point

My mom likes going to look at graves of our, we might be related to and being like, look at this bloke. Interesting. Yeah. Just all around the world? Just like, did you know your great ancestor? I'm like, I'm going to stop you there. I didn't know that and I don't care.

Wow. I don't care where I came from or where I'm going. That's terrific. What if it's to your astral form? No, I'm not interested. Okay, great, sure. That's fine. I don't want to hear about it.

Now, this is according to cryptic 4K qual on Twitter. Fake name. One of your famous. I think that's a fake name. It might be. Yeah. We're going to need a birth certificate If you could

Yeah Apparently they want to market Doomsday like they did Endgame Little but huge Nope Stupid dumb Dropping small teasers here and there To where about six to five months

Away from release I wonder James if they'd also like The box office of Endgame Do you think they'd like that Do you think they're doing this To maybe replicate the box office Of Endgame Is that what you imply?

I think they just like to have that They have that amount of money Yeah yeah I guess that I mean I don't think that's the only reason They're doing it Or is it the only reason anybody does anything? I think they're mostly doing for art's sake.

Yeah, I think so. And then when they're about six to five months away, which is a weird way to frame them. I agree. Then they'll aggressively market the film. They'll also leverage past films for a bit of the marketing drive as well. You see Chris Evans running around now with his little glasses

and he's looking pretty trim and he's... Oh, Chris Evans, yes, I did, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, you did say Chris Evans. Yeah. But I was thinking of Chris Pratton. You can look at him too. I don't want it. But I did see, Chris, he's in the tight team.

He's looking huge, big, and he's got the glasses. What do you reckon? He's put on the glasses, you know why? To distract us. For me, that he looks, Captain America big again. I think he's put the glasses on because we'll be like, that man isn't Captain America. Look at this nerd. He's an intellectual.

Exactly, yeah. He's probably going to read a book on Camu. You know? Not a book by Camus. No, no, no. About Camus. He's already read those books. Yeah, he's already read all Camus.

That's right. Because he's a fake nerd. Yeah. Yeah. And then he goes to a dictionary and he has to look up every word. He doesn't know any of those words. We all do that. You ever consider, James?

Okay. You've considered. You know, you can get an abridged dictionary. Mm-hmm. Why doesn't an abridged dictionary have all the small words in it? Oh, it's just, I like in the more common words. Yeah. Because I guess because you know those words.

But why are they in the dictionary? Which, the small words are big. The abridged dictionary should contain all the obscure words. If there's a limited amount of space in a, dictionary wait so are you saying that in a bridge dictionary there's more obscure words no it's all the common words oh then that's pointless that's what i'm saying yeah i don't know i don't have a dictionary wow because i have no past or future that's obvious that's obvious you don't own a dictionary do you own a dictionary i don't think so you've got a telephone and you ring up and

you say operator how to spell this dad how do i spell the shanghai disney i'll get a tattoo. The tattoo god doesn't know it smell it either. Quick. So there you go, Avengers Endgame or whatever it's happened. A secret dive Tuesday. They haven't cancelled it. No, it's still happening and everybody's in it all the time. Everybody's in it. And everybody's in on it.

And everybody's in to win it. That's so true, isn't it? Big paydays all the time as well. Yeah. Well, anyways, it's time for a new segment of the show. It's called Kudos to David Zazelav. Interesting. This is by his variety. Okay. It's interesting you didn't, like the segment name didn't rhyme. If I were coming up with the name

for the segment. Zudos to David Zazla. No. That doesn't run either. I would have said kudos to doodos, which is my nickname for David Zazlo. What's up, my doodos? He was in the bar. He was in the bar? He was in the bar with me.

Okay. It's good that you're making friends and all your friends are good men. I think so. By Variety, this is the headline, the story is Mason. The Warner Brothers, they've made box office history with seven consecutive movies opening above $40 million. Isn't that crazy? Yeah.

That they're doing well this year. It is. Well, it didn't start one. Well, because it was like Robert De Niro, Alto Knights and some other stuff, Mickey 17, but then it was like Sinners, Final Destination Bloodlines, a Minecraft time, Fwan, Superman, Weapons, the Conjuring Last Riots. I wouldn't put this down necessarily to David Zazlap. These are obviously creatives putting these projects together.

I think if David Zazlav had the opportunity, he would have cancelled at least half of those. Agreed. Weapons is way out. Yes, Sinners. That's out for so many reasons. He would have kept Minecraft. and probably that Brad Pitt one, maybe a conjured. Also, according to this article,

they were going through the profits of each movie, and they're saying that Superman will make $125 million profit. Okay. And look, that might be true. I think it's definitely profitable, but variety is a studio mouthpiece. That's correct, yes. And always has been.

So, no, it's a reality. I mean, they're very reliable in terms of, like, scoops because they get the word directly. Like, they get the go-ahead to report on certain things. They're doodos with all the... Yeah, they're doodos. They're doodos with the studios. Yeah.

And I think it was profitable on streaming and media and merch and all of that. I don't know. I'm just not, maybe this is right. But I don't know whether it's that much is what I'm saying. But then again, you know, the actors probably weren't paid that much, really, you know? That's true. Because it's not Avengers, everybody's here. I mean, we know exactly how much they got paid, right?

Yeah. James Gunn would have been, and Peter Safran would have been the biggest out. Well, James Gunn would have got like 15, I think. Plus back end. But also, again, I think they, I think they have genuinely sat down all the executives and they've gone, listen, we're in a new era now. These aren't going to make end game money every time. We kind of have to start again.

Like we need to, they probably pointed to the first Ironman and gone where this is, this is the restart of this. Yeah. That's the kind of money we're expected to make here. Yep. And that's reasonable. That's reasonable. And good and cool.

And now they're fired. Yeah. Good. And there's rumors and stories last week that they're gearing up for a sale to Paramount. Oh, yeah. But Zazlab is apparently not ready. Now, what he's been doing as we've been talking about is he's been gutting the company. Slash and Burn.

Sallisdh, Sallin'Bird, selling it for parts, canceling movies. Yes. Cancelling movies that are finished. I saw it with Batgirl and what's the other one? Cody versus Acme, but that might be coming out now. That is coming out. That gets sold to. Oh, yeah, they got rid of that.

Ketchup entertainment or tomato entertainment or something. Good, I love that. So that's all happening. But apparently, yeah, he's not ready for this. He's looking to build it even more. So they weren't you all ready for this? And he went, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. But also, in speaking to, this is by the Hollywood reporter.

Another bloody mouthpiece. He knew. Oh. He knows where there's money to be made. David Zazlund. Yeah. Why doesn't he bloody... Gone.

Why doesn't he, if he knows where there's money to be made, why doesn't he bloody go there? Because he would. Yeah. He would go there by himself. Interesting. And then take that money. Simply take the money. He would drink your milkshake.

And he would stash it in that vest. He would. Yeah. This is concerning the pricing of HBO Max. He said the fact of that this is quality, and that's true across our company, motion picture TV production and streaming quality, we all think that it gives us a chance to raise price.

We think we're way underpriced. So HBO Max is currently in the US. It's $9.99 per month. Okay. That would be with... That's with ads. With ads and probably like standard definition. Big Salmage.

Dot was $9 bucks. No ads. And there's Tron video games this week. And it's this pristine quality you get all the time. It is. That's right. And it's probably, because HBO Macs here, it's like, I don't know what it is. It's like 1499 or something.

And it's standard definition. You can play it on one device. Yeah. Blah, blah. It's ads or whatever. Yeah, exactly. It peaks at apparently 2099 per month. Yeah.

Which is 4K, et cetera, whatever. Yeah. I just got an email from Netflix. They're like, hey, guess what? It used to be 2599 a month. And it's less. now. No, it's $28.99. That's great. Yeah, it's great, isn't it? Wasn't it like $11 once? When it started, yeah, it was like $9.99 a month or something. Well, that's even more than

Big Sandwich.com. It's way more. Which has Tron video right now. You can get three accounts for that. Easily, if not more. That's right. And then you can give it to all your friends. Yep, or us. We'll take them. That's right. We love the content there. We'll be happy to listen to it three times. Yeah. I think also there is an obvious danger in this. And it's not just the price of HBO Max that they need to consider here. You need to consider. You need to consider the cost of living in general and every other streaming service. You bump this up. People will cut and run.

They'll cut something, weren't they? Or, as we've been saying, people will move to piracy. Because that is what's happening. We're back in like the early 2000s era. I think a lot of people, in the last couple of weeks, you know, we asked what did Gen Z people like besides vaping and playing music through their phone speaker on public transport? Yeah. And a lot of people said they like original content. and movies with a vision or what have you

but a lot of people also said I like piracy yeah I just like stealing stuff on the internet I saw a video with the guy and he was like younger people also now have MP3 players and they're just ripping music because you know if you're on Spotify you're either listening to ads or you're paying for it and also it's choked with fucking AI

music as well and the quality is bad yeah but you can curate something personal on an MP3 player and different playlists you can make a mixtape for your beloved yeah you can do that both of my kids kids have mb3 players and I put, they tell me what songs they like and I put it,

it connects to nothing and they listen to music. Your kids just like the killer's song, Mr. Brightside. Well, it's a good song. And they're always dancing around Mason singing Mr. Brightside. That's correct. Aren't they? Yes, they are. It's true.

I don't think they've ever heard that song. Well, I would have. So I don't know, Mason. I think piracy is back because every streaming service is 20 bucks. Yeah. And there's fucking 50 of them. And also everything else. else is expensive and something's got

to go. Yeah. So, you know, you could increase it. That's right. I had a conversation with my parents today and my parents do the wise thing. Yeah. Which most people don't, which is like... They rob banks. They rob banks and they use that money to sign up for streaming services, but then they watch the thing they want

and then they just cancel it. And then they... Yeah. What have you? And my dad was like, I'm going to cancel binge right now because we finish watching this thing on binge. I'm going to cancel it. And we couldn't find the way to cancel it on this. Of course not. Yep, that's the way it goes. They keep moving everything.

Yep. And often if you go to council, they're like, do you want three months for free or whatever? But yeah, shuffle them around. That's the way to do it, definitely. Yeah, if you want to do things legally or do something else, it stops you, I don't get that. Mason, Jurassic World Rebirth, remember that one? Sort of. That made $861 million at the box office.

Damn. That's a huge big movie. Huge big movie. They're always huge big movies. They always are. And Daniel Richmond is saying a new Jurassic World movie with Scarlet Johansson as the lead again is already in the works. wonder what kind of dinosaur island they'll have to get an egg from this time.

Probably a darker and more dangerous one. A fourth secret island. This is, there's even more freaks. Even freaky a dinosaur. Bigger heads. Bigger heads, you know it. Yeah. That's what people wanted.

Yeah. That movie was, um... How did that do by comparison of the previous Jurassic? Not as well, but it's also, but exceptionally well, considering the era that this released in. The state of movies. The state of it.

The state of it. Yeah. I thought it was a retread of every other movie and I didn't like it very much. But I will see all of these and we'll continue to because I am the problem. That's how they got you. Not just here, but elsewhere. I'm doing other things.

You think it's just the logo? You think the logo is so good that we're like, I've got to see where they put that logo. Yeah, you might be right. Maybe next time they put the logo directly on the dinosaurs. That's probably a way to do it. You're branding. You're branding your dinosaurs. Yeah.

I don't know. What do you do next for this? I think they should just... Why do you have to go back to the island with a family again next time? Because they will. Yeah, but how do you... I think they just go. They do the thing that they were two chicken to do

one or two or three movies ago, which is they just say dinosaurs have overrun the world. Well, I didn't think they... I thought they'd cut. They don't breed, it changed. Well, well, guess what? Einstein, it's different. Guess what, egghead? Yeah.

Guess what point next up? Which of science now, there's a... That's exactly right. There's a volaparosaurus that's chasing us down. That's right. It's got human legs. It's made of smoke. It's got a crocodile mouth.

I'll eat you and then you'll get trapped in the smoke. All your bits will get trapped in the smoke. Where's your science now? You said chaos couldn't find a dinosaur It's made of smoke But here's what it is Well it did Don't you agree Jeff Goldblum

We need to shoot the DNA into the dinosaur Out of the dinosaur How are we going to do this It's made of smoke We need to shoot the DNA out of one dinosaur Into the other dinosaur We did some sort of DNA Hose or pipe

Luckily one of the ensemble is a stoner He'd be like whoa It is my pipe It would be funny if the next one was just like, I don't know, they just made another Jurassic Park. Yeah. It's the one's functioning. You can go. It's like the zoo.

Yeah. That's right. It's like a, it's like a POV tourist, like a Disney tourist camp. And people just go and then they just turn to the dinosaurs. They're safely in a pen and they go, huh? Yeah. Yeah. These are boring, aren't they?

Yeah. Do we have time to see the T-Rex? No, we're going to, we're going to be traffic. Yeah, traffic. Sorry, kids, next time. Next time we go to the T-Rex first. Yeah. Maybe, do you reckon it would, this is the perfect time to fault in every single Jurassic

Park slash Jurassic World character? Yeah. Yeah, it's probably the time, isn't it? Who's coming back, though? I don't know. They don't need to. They probably shouldn't. No.

Yeah. Who, of the, like, the first three? Of the ones who were left. Oh, the original characters. Yeah. Like your Sam Niels and your Laura Derns and whatever, Jeff Goldens. They'd probably, I mean, they'd come back. They'd come back for enough money, yeah.

Yeah. But, I know, but who cares? Wow. Everyone cares. No, they don't. Because the last one had. No original characters. Oh, I see you're saying.

That's what I'm saying. You bring them back again. I reckon we're cracking a bill. I don't think it matters. Yeah, I guess that's probably. I think not in this era, mate.

But maybe... You're saying it's just the logo, as I have some... I'm agreeing with you on one thing, but not another thing. I'm agreeing with you with on one of your points.

Thank you. You've made two separate points that are unrelated. I don't remember. They're contradictory. I don't remember the second point. The logo wanted the bring back famous people. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay, sure, sure, sure, sure. Anyway, like I said, I think just, and literally the line you said, which is like, where's your science now? You just say that. And then they go, well, it doesn't make sense. Well, it is, though. There's just dinosaurs everywhere and they're wrecking stuff. Yeah.

And we're going to drive around in, we've got to fly around in helicopters and machine gunning them. We're going to get the DNA. Yeah. We've got to get the DNA. Yeah. Do you remember Mr. DNA? Somebody will say that at some point. That's right.

They'll do callbacks. Yeah. Isn't that Alan, what are you, Mr. DNA, they'll say? Isn't that Alan Grant's hat? And they'll go, whoa. And they'll be a sad. slow melodic Jurassic Park thing. And it's like, is he dead?

And it's like, maybe for this movie, but we could always bring him back with DNA. We'll shoot his DNA into a dinosaur. And it'll turn into Sam Neal. Oh, you think it'll be, do you think it'll turn into Sam Neal or it'll just be like a brontosaurus with Sam Neal's personality?

That one. Okay, great. Yeah, great. Mason, have you ever... Now, this has never happened to me before and I don't know whether it's happened to you. Have you ever discovered that you're in fact not on the cutting edge

of pop culture and what's relevant. Have you ever had that happen to you? I don't think so. This might surprise you. I don't know. Maybe I'll ask my good friend. Benson Boone? He did a flip.

That's true, he did. He did broke up with somebody or something this week. Yeah, I knew that. Did you? No. Now he's going to do a sad flip. Sad. Yeah.

You can tell his heart's not into it. Like, it's got the precision of a Benson Boone flip. Sure, yeah. But it doesn't have the heart. Like physically, he can do it. do it. Yeah, for sure. But emotionally, he's barely there. Yeah. Yeah. He'd rather be doing flips for love. Agreed. So Deadloat are reporting that a last Witch Hunter sequel is in the works. This is a Vin Diesel-led action flick from 2015. But it doesn't just star Vin Diesel, as I understand.

It also starred one Michael Kane. That's right. And Adam Fogelson, chair of Lionsgate motion picture group, said the last Witch Hunter has grown since its theatrical release into a global fan favorite and audiences come on man to discover come on man look continue to discover and rewatch it across every platform over the past decade

yeah hell yeah this is incredible here's some reviews do you mind no not at all this is from one room with a view who says the best thing oh reviewed terribly bombed one room with a view said the best thing that one can say about

the last witch hunter is that it's original it's still crap but at least you've never seen crap quite like this before By the way, it's about where Vindhazel was a witch hunter from the past and he's got a beard. And then it's the modern day and he just looks like Vindiesel. Interesting. And Michael Kane. Yeah.

I haven't seen it. I've never seen The Last Witch Hunter. I think he would have. But I have seen the else that it bought. Because remember he said that about yours three or whatever. Yeah. I remember that. It was four.

Flickering Myth says, The last Witch Hunter might be the worst video game adaptation not actually based on a video game. Oh. Punch drunk critic says you can accuse Diesel of playing an immortal version. of Dominic Cooper, his character from the Fast and Furious films, that's wrong. His name wasn't Dominic Cooper. His name was Dominic Torreto. Correct. And you would be... Because of his Tourettoes. Yes, that's right. His character was dry and the line delivery is flat. And this one is says Vin's special. I love Vin. We first met at a dinner party about 30 years ago. I just instinctively

greeted him with a hug and announced to the whole room. This is my son. Is this Michael Kane? Michael Kane said this from his book. Don't look back. You'll trip over a Michael Cain memoir. Wow, nice. That's also a review of the movie The Last Witch Hunter. I've never seen The Last Witch Hunter, but I have seen Triple X3, the return of Zander Cage, and I loved it.

It's a good movie. Zander Cage is the coolest man I've ever seen in my life. The voice is working for you. Thank you. Yeah, yeah. It's stuff. Is this real? What's real?

What's real? What's there? The world we're in, I don't know. I mean, that and this, like, what are we talking about? Crazy. It's a streaming hit. There's no, there is nothing, there is no movie that is a big enough streaming hits to justify spending whatever it would cost to bring it, to do another, this sequel,

unless it's animated or a motion comic or, I don't know. Michael Cain's coming back, apparently. I mean, it's been a long, I don't know, like, Nobody knows this, right? I know we did this last week when we talked about Hansel and Gretel, also witch hunters. Yeah, that, no, we talked about

what if the fuck was it? Red Notice. That was like the biggest streaming thing. Everyone was like, it can't be. Because nobody knows. I don't think anyone knows this. There's some data error here or something. Yeah, yeah.

Somebody's... Does it automatically play after Fast and Furious and that's how we got here? Absolutely, it does, yeah. Yeah, I don't know, man. I mean, great, do it. I would love to go back to... I mean, I haven't seen the first one.

But we'd do an episode on this, wouldn't we? 100%. 92-year-old Michael Kane coming back. This is my son, the last witch hunter. Oh, my goodness. This is great stuff. Don't forget your wooden steak, son. That's how you kill witches?

Is that a witch thing? Berries. Probably kill them with berries. Wouldn't hurt and stabbing a woman with a steak. That would probably kill them. I'm going to kill most people, yeah. Yeah. I don't know.

Terrific. Trails a hoi honk-hong. Wake up dead bad. People say we never tried new stuff. We're always trying new stuff. Yeah, yeah. We're at the forefront of new technology, including that soundbite that we got installed in the studio. That's correct, yeah.

Wake Up Dead Man, this is the third in the Knives Out trilogy. It's a spooky one. Spooky one. Good cast, as always. Jeremy Renner playing not himself. That's correct. Josh O'Connor playing a different kind of hot priest. That's right.

But Andrew Scott is also in this. He's not a hot priest. He was. He was in a show. And he could be again. I agree. It was good and fun. Others.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to this And it's getting a two-week cinematic release Which I don't think the last one got I think the last one was less, wasn't it? Yeah, it was like a week Yeah, and not even like full sessions maybe Not even like a full... Yeah, it was like two a day or something

Maybe not even, yeah I mean I suppose it would depend where you lived I imagine Yeah, well that's fair We might not be different here Yeah, to other places But no, it looks fine and good I really like knives out I like the last one

I wouldn't say I liked it as much Josh O'Connor, Glenn Close, Josh Broline, Kerry Washington, Kaylee, Spaney. Josh Broline said it was like an orgy because of all the talent. Who said that? Thomas, what's his name? Josh Brolin. Did he? Yeah.

I mean, you have to have been in an orgy to compare. That's true, yeah. Yeah, yeah. I haven't, so I don't know. It's not really my thing, to be honest. I would find it's overwhelming. You know? Mm-hmm.

Yeah. Sorry, go on. You were talking about an orgy? I think I was You were thinking about it Well With this cast Wow

Yeah sure Thomas Hayden Church From Gwen and Stacey Well speaking to hot priests Wait is that what it is Gavin and Stacey Ned and Stacey Ned and Stacey

Ned and Stacey I'm thinking of Gwen Stacy You're thinking of Gwen Stacy And he was in a Spider-Man 3 With Gwen Stacy That's exactly right He was a sand man All the stuff I'm thinking about

Yeah There's no limit to the amount Of stuff I can think about Including that orgy Yep Yeah Anyone else or is that all the cast What do you think of Daniel Craig's floppy long hair

Is he allowed to be doing that? I think he's allowed, yeah Okay, all right We'll allow it here And he hasn't immediately shaved it off So he likes it in real life Oh, we liked it in real life Must do, right?

Maybe you're tied into a little ponytail For Rachel Weiss Maybe you could Maybe she could give him Some good hair advice Nice You're welcome! I'm happy with that

Mace, another movie we've got is the trailer for The Rip Oh, that's December the rip, Mason. The rip. You know about this? The rippity dip. Now, Ben Afflick and Matt Damon are making movies together, apparently because one of them,

I can't remember which one watched the Beatles documentary. It's not because one of them's getting divorced again. Maybe that could also be happening. Both are getting divorced. Both, yeah, which could be nothing. Yeah. And I can't remember which one of them said, it made them sad because there was a moment where they, the documentary, it's like,

well, they never recorded. They never did anything together again. And he's like, well, do I want to, do I want that to be the legacy of my life? Just dogma. Just dogma. Do we... Good will hunting? Do I want the legacy of my career to be that brief period where people wore hoodies and

then like a long coat over the top of the... Is that what you want? Yeah. Yeah. They're also in Jane Silent Bob, a reboot a movie together. Oh, was they? And they did more recently that Ridley Scott won about that guy's wife or whatever. That's not what it's about.

You know what I'm talking. The last jewel. Yes. The last cool duel. And now they're like, we're doing movies again together because we're bros. Yeah. And because there was an era in the 2000, though, like, we can't just be doing stuff together all the time.

That's right. We're going to be like, bloody these guys. But now they're like, we're made, so we want to do stuff. We both want to be Batman. Yeah, we both want to be Batman sometimes. Did Matt Damon want to be Batman anymore? I don't think so. Okay.

I want it to be Martian, the Martian. The Martian, the Man Hunter. Correct, yes. This one is a, it's a heist of sorts, it seems, or a... Reministant of the town. That's a good way to frame this movie, Mason. And this is based on a true story? Probably.

Yeah, probably. It's directed by Joe Carnahan, who did Wolf Fight and other movies. And other better movies, I think. That's a good movie. Wow. It's contemplative. Okay. It's about the nature of man and death.

This comes to Netflix on January 16th. Yes. Unlucky for some. Who else is in it? It looks, it is a good cast. Would you say it's stacked? It's got, I would say it's stacked. It's got Sasha Carl, who's a Supergirl for a man.

Oh, yes. And others. Scott Adkins. He was Batman stunt double. And he does his own stuff as well. That's right. Oh, Stephen Yuan. Yeah, he is. He's the big, he's the big fat Russian guy and John Wickford. He is. Stephen Yun's in this. Yeah. Kyle Chandler's in this. There's some good names in here. Yep. And other people like recognize all of them. Do you think

Kevin Smith gets a cameo? Yes. He'll be like, what's up? Snooch to the Noot's bros. A major careers, sort of, somewhat. Kevin Smith has never said Snooch to the Nooch in his life. He would have said it in a podcast. Disagree. You don't think so? Find an example. Collings pull a clip. Okay, well. Don't go out of your way. But if you could find one, put it in.

All right. Snooch to the noch. Do we ever do this? No, and we shouldn't. You've gone mad with power. Maybe. We also got a very brief teaser. We've got to Nestor Carbonell.

Yes. He's, well, he's the mayor in one of the Batman movies. And he's also, he's Batman well in one version of the tick. And other stuff. Which version of the tick? The new one or the old one? No, the previous version. The one where it was Patrick Warburton.

This guy doesn't really age. Agreed. How old is he? 57. Wow, looking good. Looking good and hopefully feeling good. Yeah. Mason.

Yes. And then we've got to tease a trailer for the Super Mario Galaxy movie. This is a sequel to the Super Mario Brothers movie. Yep. There was a Nintendo director or whatever. And they're like, here's all the Nintendo that's happening. Do you like the Galaxy Games? Well, now there you can buy them in a thing.

And it's like, well, I already bought the Super Mario, the modern All-Stars version. Well, it's now it's $100. Galaxy was on that. It's $100 more. But I already got one of these games. Do I have to... Well, you can digitally download the second. I don't like digital games.

I like physical... Well, you have to digitally download it. Otherwise, we'll sue you. I don't want to be sued. And then we'll take a portion of your income forever. I would rather not, quite frankly. Too bad. I don't want that.

$100. Anyway, the teaser is we see the Mario Mushroom Kingdom. Chris Pratt is back as Mario. Yes. Which we all agree with. We agree with that. Certainly, yes. And it's got a loom in it, which is a character from...

This is a thing in Galaxy. It's a good game. I've only played the first one. All right. This is April of next year, if you can believe that. They've been, Illumination Nintendo, have been quietly working away on this. I will say this. Yes.

I hope it's funny. Yeah, me too. I hope there'll be something in it for not children. And not just look at that. Yeah. Look at that. Do you recognize that shell? I do.

Mario, if you've hit that box, the mushroom will come out. You eat that. You'll get a power up. Yeah, we'll say you'll get a power up. Yeah, we say it. I would love a scene where he learns to jump and run around him. He's done that already. I'd love a scene where it's just Mario Kart.

They did that? I want a spooky Luigi movie. Sure, yeah. With Charlie Day as Luigi. That's good casting. And it's live action. It's like a conjuring movie. Yes, absolutely like a conjuring movie.

Yeah. So, you know, do you reckon who else? They're going to bring in a Wario or are they going to do Galaxy? You play Galaxy. You got a different world. It's like circular planets and you do stuff. They're also skipping like Sunshine, I guess Mario 64, some other kind of key. Sure.

I guess 4, Mario 64 was kind of like the first one, I guess. Yeah, okay, sure. But Sunshine, where's the water jet pack? Where are you spraying their stuff down all the time? Correct. Someone going to tell me about this? I'm not. Who confirmed this to me?

What? I don't know what's happening. I think that's evident. Yeah. Don't you? That's clear. It's very clear. Look, I didn't like the last one.

I thought it was bad. No, it felt lazy. It looked incredible. Yeah. I mean, that's the thing. It looked like the game. Yeah. Which is what...

But I'd play the game. Which, yeah, exactly. Which is what people have always said, you know, these video game adaptations, they're going too far from the game, just put the game on screen, and it's bad. Yep.

I thought it was bad. But it made a billion dollars or whatever, so I'm in the monom. Yeah, it was good. I've changed my tune. And then the check has cleared, so I think it's good. Fantastic.

So there you go. April of next year, soon. This is via EW. It's a last bit of news. You know, there's a Highlander reboot currently filming. Yep. Or was it?

Oh, no. Directed by Chad Stahalski, one of the John Wickfellas. That's right. It starred Henry Cavill as Connor McLeod, sorry. Dave Battista is Kergan. Okay. Russell Rock is Ramirez. Whoa.

You know about this? Good night, boys. I'm going to take out to be a mortal. You want to come along and do this big time? So the Ramirez character... Get your gear off and jump in a lake. But they're going to film that or is that? Nope.

Just boys mucking about. Boys getting in a light, gear. off. Yeah, that's right. Oh, a bit cold as it, fellas. Not for me. Russell Crow. Yeah, Russell Rock is Russell Crow for those people who don't know.

So, yeah, that was the Sean Connery character. Anyway, Henry Cavill, he suffered an injury. And shooting has been halted till next year. This is bad. It is bad. Injury must be pretty serious. I guess he can't do any of his Highlander stuff, like swinging a sword around. He's so good at swinging a sword around.

He's doing it all day on the Witcher set or whatever. What happened here? The older people are saying, maybe. That's what some people are saying. Fix it with C.G. It's fine. Yeah. Do you like Henry Cable's long, wet hair at the moment?

I haven't seen that. Yeah, I don't like it, Mason. He's got to stop doing that. Well, he can now. He's best, look, no. He's the problem. Well, that's the thing. I mean, if he's not filming again until next year, he could cut it off and grow it back.

Yeah. What I suspect will probably happen, for insurance purposes. He'll have to just get it longer and wetter for the remainder of the year. Let me bring it up, Mason, and I'll show you the biggest, good as time. Okay. What's the worst photo I can find a very handsome man? Yeah. I am struggling here, Mason. I think you're going to be like it's all right. That doesn't

look that bad. Ah. His best look was Mission Impossible one. 100%. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. It's an in- see that there's a that... It's an in-between like. It's an in-between like the one where he's got the tuxedo on. Yeah, that's an in-between length. That's an odd length. That's not his fault. I don't know, man. Now I've just got a lot of pictures of people looking at Henry Cavill and being like, Henry Cavill bald.

It's just like analyzing his hairline. This is fascinating stuff. I'm down a rabbit hole, Mason. I've got to close this tab. Anyway, whatever. Yeah. Highlander fan, Mason. Yes, you know what you are, Mason, every day of the week.

Smally budget. It's a smally budget? For something that's in cinema, sure. Um, yeah, no. They make use to that smally budget, don't they? Not a biggie budget. No, it's not. Budget $20 million.

Smally budget? It's going to make about, I reckon, apparently, 11 million in the US on its opening. Okay. Which is pretty good. It's got pretty good word of mouth, it seems. It's got really good reviews. It's a Stephen King adaptation, which often, but not always do well, depending on the quality of the film. What do you think the story was?

Oh, come on, man. Yep. Well, not only is it a Stephen King adaptation. Sure. It's the first of two Stephen King writing as Richard Barkman adaptations this year. What was the other one again? The running man. Running man.

About movement. Mm-hmm. Movement men. The movement men duology. That's right. Yeah. We could add in... Walk the line.

Walk the line. Walk hard. Walking tall. Yeah, walking tall. You haven't thought of any yet. I haven't thought of all these. What's the one that it's Charlie Sheena and Emilio Estabez and they're moving men? Repo men?

Maybe. yeah garbage men garbage men something like that two garbage men yep these are good that one's relevant that's right

anyway it's uh it's um tell you this much it's uh it's a time yep it's probably the 50s maybe it's 19 years after or something oh 19 years after something maybe war

some kind of a war yep but it's a parallel universe I don't even worry about what war it is it's the 50s or the 60s or the 70s or the modern day yeah yeah yeah yeah and um

the the United States has gone through some economic peril They're like, but you know what would improve the economy If we killed a lot of boys Yeah So they've set up a little game You volunteer And then you get chosen by lottery

Every year they get 50 boys Yep They get 50 fine boys Doesn't always Did that seem like 50 do you? Apparently it was Apparently it was In the book it's 100

Yes it is There are some significant changes That's right But they get 50 boys 50 best boys apparently chosen at random and you start off they all go to the one state

and they get on a road. It doesn't feel random. Interesting. Yeah. Would you say in a way they've all been chosen to interact in a way that is compelling

in a dramatic sense? Let's not go that far. Okay. But then they've all got to walk. Yep. They've got a little device that measures their walking speed they've got to walk at a minimum

of three miles per hour. You might be like that's easy. Yeah, but they could just keep doing it. You might be like that's easy. Well, there's a lot of rules. And most of them end up with you getting shot. Yeah. So if you slow down, you get a warning.

And if you stay slowed down, you get another warning. If you stay slowed down, they shoot you in the head. Yep. And then you just keep walking. There's no real. The only ending is the last person left. Yes. It gets a squillion dollars and a wish.

And a wish. Because the genie appears and it goes, ho ho ho. That's right. Ho ho. Oh, I'm Mark Hamel. Oh. Mark Hamel's in this. Yeah.

So this director by Francis Lawrence, who did the Hunger Games movies. Oh, yes. There is definitely something Hunger Games is about. because of the 100 boys or whatever. He also directed I Am Legend. I thought this was good and great. I thought it was good also. It's very compelling.

Very compelling. It really holds your attention. Yes. Yeah. And also considering it's, I think it's, isn't it over two hour runtime? I don't know. No, it's short. It's 109 or something.

Is it? Yep. I thought it was not. 109 minutes? Yes. 109 hours. Oh. Yeah, which is long now that I think about it.

148 minutes. Is it? Okay. An hour and 48 minutes, sorry. So, yeah, a bit under two hours, sorry. It feels like an hour and a half. It moves, walks, even, at a brisk pace of three miles per hour. Wow, if you walk, you'd win.

Yeah, I would. I probably would have done. Yeah. So, yeah, I found this very harrowing. Sure, absolutely. It's quite nihilistic. I would say it's more, in terms of Stephen King adaptations, it's more the mist than Shawshank.

Absolutely. It's stand by me, but if the four boys stop moving, they all get shot in the head. Yeah, that's right. Frank Darabond was actually Doom, doom, bo doom, boom, boom, bo do do do boom, bang, bang, bang, bang. So yeah, Frank Darabond, who's directed a few Stephen King things. He was going to do this at one point. Oh, yeah, that's right.

And I think, who was it? It's going to mean in the 70s, it was, what was his name? Was George Romero maybe? Someone like that, I can't remember. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyways, for me, when I'm watching this, though, like, Oh, night is fall, and I'm like, good, a perfect opportunity. The night has fall, and the land is dark.

Bang! It's a perfect opportunity for all the boys to rest. Yes. Because I just assume that at night, they'd be resting time. Stop. Yeah. But no, it's literally, you just walk. Yeah, and they're being followed by tanks.

Because I guess you could just walk forever then otherwise, couldn't you? Yeah. They're being followed by tanks with cameras on them. Yep, they might run over your legs. This is being broadcast in some way to the nation, and everybody's like, this is great for us and the economy, and we love. this. We don't see any of that. Like we don't see anybody watching it. No, that's true.

Yeah, we never see, yeah, we never see anybody going, that young boy, he's pooped himself and then they've shot him in the head. And I love that. For the economy. Hey, darling, come have a look, this young boy, he's pooped himself and has shot himself or something. No, he wouldn't have shot himself, someone shot him. I stopped

watching the team. I went to the kitchen to get you, and I don't know if maybe he shot himself or someone shot him, I don't know. We don't know what happens. So, there's a sort of, again, a stand-by-me style. core cast of this four people, but the main two, it's David Johnson, who we know from Alien Romulus, is the android, Andy the Android, who became cool. He did. He wasn't cool, and then he became cool, but he's pretty cool in this. He's got a sad backstory. And then in the other, the other

guys, the rest of them have really happy backstories. Everybody's having a lovely, they're, they're like, I've just, I've taken a few vacation days. I knew he was British. Yeah, that's right. And the other guy's Cooper Hoffman. I didn't know that because I had to Google it. Yeah, Cooper Hoffman. So that's Philip Seymour's son. Which is going to reignite another round of nepo baby discourse. But, as I've said before, I think the way you determine a nepo baby is one of their parents has to be, like, properly famous. Yes. You can't be like, oh, that got a jump start in Hollywood.

His dad's a grip. Right. It doesn't, that doesn't count. That's for nothing. Right. So that's step one. People know who Philip Simon Hoffman is, but also you have to watch them in something and go, why on earth was this person cast in this? And then you look it up.

Then you look it up and go, oh, okay, right. Oh, because they're a good actor. Yeah. But in this, I'm like, all these guys came out where this, I went, where's this, yeah, I didn't know either. I'm like, where this guy come from is good in this. Yeah. Good work.

Yeah. You can see, like he's not a spitting. And he came from. Yeah. He's not like a spitting image, but knowing that it's his son, it's like, oh, yeah, okay, this, this, this makes sense. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, you can see, they've got, they've got, they've got individual backstories.

It's true. And they're, they've got to be, they've got to, you know, this, because, you know, there can only be one winner, but inevitably they're bound by this trauma and, you know, they're on this little journey, you know? They can't attack each other as far as I know, is that right? Because they can't sabotage

each other? Or it's discouraged? Yeah, seems that way, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Because there's not a lot of that in this, really. But I think realistically, because there is a moment in this where one character, one of the supporting characters, sort of goads another guy into fighting him. Yeah. But I think generally what happens there is

any, if you stop to fight a guy, you stop walking. Yeah, that's what, yeah. So that's kind of, you know. Absolutely. Yeah. I really liked, so Charlie Plummer is in this. Have you ever seen the Klofich killer?

No, but you love talking about it. I do like talking about it. Everybody should watch that if you like, it's kind of a Zodiac killer kind of thing. It's good. Anyway, it's not either here or there. Great cast all around, really good performances. Now, which guy is he? He's the one with the long hair who goads the.

Oh, yeah, right, right, right. We are going to do a more spoiler-heavy section. When I was, so initially, yeah, I was watching this. I was like, oh, I guess. I guess you can just walk forever, potentially, like if there's, oh, no, you can't sleep. But I was also like, oh, no, I just have to go to the bathroom and then I die. Yeah. Because you just have to shit and walk.

Yeah. Which is difficult to do. I wouldn't know. You've got to maintain a pace. You wouldn't know? No. No. And also, so there's a few rules.

But also, if you step off the road at all, that's instant death. You also are given as many cantings of water as you require. and rations. That is the perfect scam. If you were just in it for the water. Yeah. Oh, my God. Another,

another canteen, please. Water for days, I'd sell them. Yeah, yeah, yeah. If you love your mom, they'll shoot you to death. Yeah. All of these different things.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So I think, yeah, it's a very compelling narrative and set of rules that they've set up, some of which they have changed. It's a faster speed in the book. I think it's four miles per hour. There's a few things like that. They're also doing screenings where people are on walking treadmill.

I saw that yeah which I probably wouldn't do I probably wouldn't do that yeah I do walking too fast I do a lot yeah exactly yeah you probably I'd go through the screen and I'd be in the movie

no that's worse and then I'd win the movie so yeah you might be a little old to be in this group though Mason I'd be young yeah yeah

you'd think that I'd win the competition and then I'd win an Oscar do you think they're purposely picking people who aren't like incredible athletes because they just

most of them just look like normal people uh Because there would be people like Hunger Game style Who exclusively trained for this, right? No, I think... They're shitting and walking in their hometown. I think, no, I think this is

Because oftentimes when it's a movie like this Where it's kind of dystopian, you know, premise and people that show, you know, randomly chosen, it's a setup. I think we're talking about it in the past There's a movie called Series 7, The Contenders, which is like, it's like a running man situation, you know, people have to kill each other. Battle Royale, etc.

And in that, it's a, it's random, but it's not really random. But I think in this, it is really, I mean, they even, yeah, they, do you reckon? Yeah. But they talk about in this also that, like, you know, because the idea is it's a choice to sign up for this because you can better yourself and inspire others. Yeah. But it's not really a choice because literally everybody else, everybody on earth or everybody in this country.

Who knows where it is? We don't know. Yeah, yeah. Signs up for it. Oh, I see what you're saying. Everybody is sort of compelled to for the economy, right? Yeah, or that and just like. It's a metaphor, James.

Well, you know, in a, in a society where there is no hope. And it's so bleak. Here we go, he's changed in a society Sunday. This is the world that they've made here. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And maybe there are parallels. Then, yeah, you just, you would do it because this is better than your normal existence. I think my normal existence in this universe would be really good.

Yeah? Yeah, with all that water you're drinking. Oh, my God, yeah. I'd be so hydrated. True. In the 50s, the most hydrated man would be the king. Maybe. Someone who knows proper hydration in the 50s, you could rule that.

Definitely. God, look at this guy. Goes to the bathroom all the time. And it's clear. We've never seen that. That's right. Yeah. Normally when we pee, there's cigarettes in it.

Lit cigarettes. That's right. Apparently also Stephen King wanted the, there's a lot of executions in this. And Stephen King wanted the deaths to be shown. Yes. Which I thought was really interesting because he was like, no, this is the reality of this situation. And there's some pretty horrific stuff in this.

There's a broken ankle moment, which is really awful to look. Yeah, yeah. The first death is pretty, I mean, that's supposed to set the trend, set the tone rather, and that is, that's pretty horrific. It is, yeah. So I would say as a, if you're thinking about which Stephen King writing as Richard Barkman movie, you're going to watch this year and you don't like vicious head wounds perpetrated on people who've just pooped themselves.

Yeah. Maybe don't watch this one. Maybe not this one. But if that's what you love, that's what you're into. Dude, you're going to love this. I'm going to love this, yeah. Also, we don't know what kind of situation they're going to do for the running man. Maybe it's even more violence.

I think it's going to be a little bit wacky. Yeah, probably. Well, they've got, who's the game show hosting that again? It's his name. Coleman Domingo. Yeah, so that's, that's fun and itself. Yeah. I'm going to say best movie ever.

I'm going to say best movie ever. Also, good performances all around. A nice, it's a good ensemble supporting cast. They throw a lot of names around that I've, that I constantly forget. But it's kind of like, you know, the characters themselves. You know, you get a handle on them really quickly. Yes. If I only have, you like, you know.

It's got the new karate kid in it. It's a little guy. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. I would die. I would live. Would you? Yeah. For you.

Thanks. Yeah, no problem. Walk the furthest and hold your pee the whole time. No, I'd just be constantly peeing. I mean, with all the water you drink, you're going to show. Yeah, that's right. Just, you know. There's one moment where a guy's like, I'm going to start smoking.

And it's like, now is not the time. Unless it gives you the quick nicotine energy you need. Yeah. Pretty harrowing stuff. But would you say, I'm going to talk about... Are we in spoilers now? What are we doing?

Oh, okay, let's do spoilers. Oh, best movie ever. I think it was one of the... It's probably one of the top five Stephen King adaptations. What do you reckon? I mean, more so than the Langaleas? That's a good one. Where the monsters eat time?

Let me check. Is that a Stephen King? It did, yes. I'm just saying, I mean, Carrie would be up. I mean, there's, you know, there's the one in the spooky hotel and then the sequel to that. Yep. The It's movies, all of those. Law and Moor Man.

Yeah, sure, Law and Moire Man. Obviously, Shoreshank. 14-08, it's a good one. These are all good movies and real. Yeah. Green Mile. Yeah, sure. Exeterra.

Yeah, yeah. Misery. Mm. These are good ones. Good, good movies. Langaleas. I know if you mentioned that earlier. I did.

Spoilers. So, it's changes from the books. Okay. Spoilers. as mentioned go they go from 100 to 50 boys four miles to three

in the movie and also in this the Garrity the character of the major play by Mark Hamill who we haven't mentioned who kind of orchestrates the whole thing

or is in charge of it who's this military figure that rules over he's known he's like a famous guy because he's Mark Hamill so you would know got a lot of time in his hands

he's always following these boys yeah come on man he's the father of one of the boys illegitimate and he's also So he personally killed Garreti's father. Correct. Which that was the only,

when there's a lot of things, it's a bit of a stretch, but I was like him personally, really? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, this is a big country, wherever it is, we don't know. Yeah. It's probably Cuba.

One of those communist countries. So Garity's wish is at the end he wants to get a gun to shoot him. Because you get a wish. I don't think we, but perhaps we didn't firmly establish this. You get a squillion million dollars, have much money you want.

One guy wished for an elephant. Yeah, and then you just say, I wish for a thing and they make the thing happen. Yeah. Unless it can't be something that makes societal change. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, you can't be like, I wish we didn't do this long walk thing anymore.

Yeah. And they also changed the winner. Oh, yeah. The book is a different winner. So Garretty's like, he confides to David Johnson's character. I'm going to wish for a gun. And then I'm going to shoot the major with it.

And they'll be like, this is a good American boy. He deserves a gun. We'll get a gun. He's going to shoot him. Don't you think his mom, Judy Greer wouldn't approve of that? Yes. She might.

Yeah, maybe she's like, that's all right. him up, like, I finally love you now, son. I didn't, but I do now. Yeah. You shot Mark Hamill for his opinions on The Last Jedi. Finally. So, yeah, so, Gary is the winner. In the book.

In the book. Yes. And he sees, like, and he ignores the major, apparently. I haven't read it. I do want to read after this. Who knows whether I will. And then he sees a dark figure up ahead who he thinks is another walker. And he just keeps walking.

He goes mad, basically. Yeah, and it's, and also people are like, it's death or whatever. Oh, it could be death. Yeah. But this time around... Yeah. It could be...

Just another guy. Could be... Could be famous runner, Jim Fix. Could be Jim Fix. Yeah. Yeah. But this time around, it's... It could be...

Who was that guy? Who's that guy? Forrest Gump. No. His fitness guy. Curly hair. No, no. Stripy shorts.

That guy? Oh. He's always dancing. Yeah. God. And he disappeared. Yeah. Richard Simmons.

He was probably Richard Simmons. It was probably Richard Simmons. Yeah. It might have been So in this Garrett, he loses And he's shot Yeah

Well he says He doesn't His friend's gonna lose And he's like No no I'm gonna help you Actually we'll go We'll do this together And he's like

Actually sucked in I'm gonna stop And you're gonna win Yeah I'm gonna die But that's cool That's cool Because I already impressed upon you

The importance Of getting a gun And killing this guy Yeah Yeah Yeah So David Johnson is like He's left

Because he's And I have a gun Well David Johnston in the end, he's wished during it is because he grew up without a family. Terrible circumstances. Terrible circumstances grew up in a terrible system and he wanted to do something for that

which could help people like him. He's like the overly positive person throughout this and he wants to make change in society but not by killing one man. Yes. It's by enacting change. Killing everyone. Yeah.

Yeah, enacting change on like a local level which is good and does work. But then I don't know whether this ending is like nihilist or optimistic. I think it... James, I think it's art and you're supposed to make your own decision.

There is a moment in this... Again, I think that a lot of the conversations are really good and I think the work between all the actors, I think the back and forth is really compelling and I believed in his characters. There's a moment right at the end of this where I think they were like

people are going to be... Because there's the switch where it seems like one of the contestants is going to die and then the other one does, blah, blah, blah. And I think there's a moment they thought, well, the audience is going to be confused. So let's just get Mark Hamill to reiterate the stakes. Yeah.

And he goes, and David Johnson gets the gun. And then Mark Hamill goes, well, he's not going to shoot me because he gets one wish and he's not going to waste that wish on killing me. He's got all the money and he's got all the things to live up. Like he's not telling this guy. He's telling the audience. Yeah, yeah. I guess, yeah, I guess the audience who are watching it at home.

Oh, yeah, until the television. Yeah, I think, so David Johnson. he decides to shoot Mark Hamill and then he keeps walking and I don't like I think Johnny Walker I mean yeah I mean yeah because he did

because he's a guy who didn't want this he didn't believe in violence but then he took up on took this thing upon that his friend wanted to do and I think also in that act there maybe would be a greater societal change because you see that the system is not

like it is every American would stand up in front of their TVs and they go I can shoot Mark Hamill as well that's right exactly Let's all get out there. Let's find him. Don't do it, though.

But I think this feels like, you know, a class, this feels like a classic open-ended finale that we maybe don't get so much in movies anymore. Which is good. We were just like, because people nowadays are like, then what happened? Then where did he go? Who did he talk to?

What did he happen after? Where's Nick Fury? Yeah, where is Nick Fury? What happened after this? Do you think he went to jail this guy? Or do you think they just went, no, he's all right, let him walk? I think they were probably like,

we're sort of relying on the major to, to, to, to know what we're going to do here. They probably fly someone else in to make a decision really. Yeah, that's true, yeah. Yeah. A regional manager. Exactly. Something to that effect.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I also liked, James, we're back in the review. We never won't. That's true. We're back in the non-spoiler section. I also just like that they're going through all these desolate towns. I just like the world that they're going through. I just thought there's really, you know, they're going through all this.

You know, there's one point where one of the characters, he's like, I'm done with this and he just, you know, runs off the main part. So they just machine gun him through the front of a diner. Yeah. And it's like the diner's closed. There's no one there. It's kind of like, what is this world? Yeah, exactly.

Do you think it was the end of World War II? I think that was the implication, but I think it's the World War II, but it never, like, like, whatever this country is, that they didn't bounce back. Yeah, yeah. Wherever this is set, we don't know. Yeah, probably Cuba. It's probably Cuba. Yeah. I really liked it.

I thought it was great. Me too. And I think if you. If you can handle something like this, then you might want to check it out in cinemas or other places. I can easily handle it. The movie, the competition, winning that Oscar. You would win. All these would be easily handled.

Don't even worry about it. And your father isn't anybody famous, is he? Correct. He's just like some fucking guy. That's exactly right. Yeah. That's right. Cool.

But he's a great man in his own way. Agreed. All right. Should we move on the next segment of the show? Let's move on the next segment. Is it talking about cool things to each other? Yes. Like what we've been reading and what we're going to read?

Correct, yes. All right, then that's great. Okay, I've got to think of some Me too No, I've got mine already I'm ready That's great I'm doing the thing

I'm doing the thing I'm doing What are we reading today This is a great segment of the show Where we always Both think of things I don't think of anything

What's the time Here's something we did do together Most of my week Has been going Boy, I get up in the morning And I go testing One, two, three Oh

Voice is still bad I guess I can't watch Or read anything That's exactly right Because I'll just die is what I say, every, I don't know. Yeah, maybe, maybe. Turned out, somebody emailed in, actually, a nurse practitioner emailed in, and he said,

here's some tips. And I'm like, and I, you know, if you lost your voice. Yep. I don't think those, those didn't apply, but thank you for emailing in. But I think I was just doing everything wrong. Well, one of the things you were doing was menthol cigarettes. Yeah, I was doing menthol. No, I was eating butter menthols, which are like a, if you're not in Australia, they're

like a lozenge, they got butter and benthol, they're for sore throats. And then like a week in, I'm like, because if you have acute laryngitis, it's supposed to go away in a week, right? And I'm not there at the end of the week going, this is still here. And so I'm like, I've just, I just Google. Maybe I'm not eating enough butter menthol. Yeah, I Google, is, is menthol good for laryngitis? And Google's like, no, menthol ban for laryngitis.

Yeah. And et cetera. Yeah. So, you know. So what were the tips? From, from the medical profession. Yeah. Oh, it was like, don't eat too late in the, in the evening.

Mm-hmm. Because you can get acid reflux and that all. Inflammatory. Yeah, it's inflammatory. Don't make inflammatory comments. Don't make inflammatory. That's so true, isn't it? Yeah.

And other things. This is something we did do. Yes. We, and by we, I mean me, played three classic Tron games. That's right. At Big Sandwich.com. I mentioned it earlier. One of the original arcade games, there was a first-person shooter in like the early 2000s.

That's right. And then a more, not a modern game. It was from 15 years ago when the second movie came out. Yeah. And it was just interesting seeing Tron evolve. over the decades. That is true, yeah. Sometimes for the better,

sometimes for the worst, depending on the game. But I just wanted to see the bike stuff mostly. Yeah, no, that's probably true. And we did. We got all the bike stuff in. So, yeah, that's a big sandwich talk about. You do want to check it out.

But one of the things I've been watching is Dexter Resurrections. Oh, yeah. Dexter is back. Dexter's Resurrection. Okay, right, yes, okay. So there was also the prequel, which was cancelled.

Who's the new James Bond, that guy? Yes. And a sequel series where it's Dexter in New York. He gets roped, joins a serial killer club. Is it called the bloody Sex and the City Girls? Dan, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, na, da, nah, da da da da da la la la la. Yeah.

Did he show up because Miranda left or whatever? Yeah, he showed up because Miranda left. Samantha. Samantha, thank you. I didn't finish the last season. Samantha. Go on. Angela.

No one knows that, basically. Yeah, no, I know. Professor Brothers, if people are interested. Oh, yeah, that's right. Maybe. Maybe. It definitely was. Okay. Anyway, so he joins a serial killer club.

Okay. And then he's like, well, while I'm here. Okay. Yeah. What do you mean he joins a serial killer? Well, he kills a serial killer and then it leads him to a serial killer club that a billionaire is like putting on. Oh, interesting. Okay.

I could do some work here. And his son's there and whatever. It's the whole thing. He's like, sorry, I shot you, dad. Yeah, pretty much. I love you, dude. It's a really strong season, and it's going to continue. That's interesting, because I'm under the impression you and most people didn't think the previous season was all right.

I mean, there's always an element of disbelief to Dexter, like one, that he can just run around New York and set up kill rooms and kill people and nobody finds him. I mean, people get close, sure. Yeah. But, no, I did enjoy it a lot. But I did read a comic, which as the same font as the new Clayface movie, called Batman One Bad Day Clayface, which is a... It's got the same font. Yes, the Hollywood signed font as the movie.

Okay. And so some of this will be in the movie, I'd imagine, where the Clayface goes to Hollywood to become an actor. And this is after he's done all the Batman stuff on the crimes. And he's like, I'm going to make a career being a serious actor now, and he picks the perfect face for himself. Which Clayface is this? Oh, it doesn't matter.

And he's going for auditions and everything. It's a funny one. Yeah. No, not really. And then it very quickly becomes, he just starts clay facing his way up the chain. Okay. Of like, and then, and then this is a spoiler. Maybe he could clay face a puffy vest and become David's Azle.

Maybe he could. And then this is a spoiler, but then Batman shows up at the end and he's like, stop it. Yeah, I will beat you up. So I thought it was special gloves on. Yeah, yeah, man. I thought it was really good. I'd never even heard of it before I saw somebody say, hey, the font from the movie is the same as that comic.

And you're like, I love fonts. I love fonts, and I'll check it out. I'm very fond of fonts, you said. It's like a one-shot kind of situation. You know, you joke has the one bad day situation. Though this is, it's one bad day, but it's over a series of days, and it's after he's already turned into Clayface. Sure.

Make of that what you will, Mason. It should be called Clayface's best day ever. Clayface is having a fun time in Hollywood, he's running around. Yeah. I do read some absolute Batman. Whoa, what are you up to? The current one. Well, it's happened to him.

I've dropped off all the absolutes. I've got to get back to it. Well, Baines around. Baines around. And he's the scariest bloke I've ever seen in my life. Is he? Yeah. You're not scared of anything.

But even if he's the scariest bloke. But that doesn't mean he's scary. He still hasn't cracked my meter off things. The scaremeter. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You spookomata? Yeah, my spookomata, yeah. It's a good series.

The only thing that I object to, I think, in Absolute Batman. Too big. It's not that he's too big. It's that he's too tall. because the premise of the the absolute universe I feel is that man's really tall no it's that dark side has created this universe separate from the regular universe where everybody is missing the kind of they're they're they're missing the advantages they had in the in the in the previous universe so you know Superman doesn't you know his parents on earth weren't the loving parents

that he had for years in in the real world they're just two got two people that just got rid of him yeah as soon as some trouble happened so I'm I'm like, I don't think Batman should be really tall. I think he should be regular height and just be really wide. Okay. Yeah. And so his advantage is that he was really tall, but he keeps his width, keeps his width in your version.

That's great. If you were dark, so he's six foot nine. Yeah. So that's, it's too tall. He stands out in a crowd, I would say. Well, we haven't read things. We've read things. You thought you hadn't?

No, I mean, mostly haven't. No, most weeks, if I'm not going out of my way to, you know, what we're reading, it's just me watching YouTube stuff. And it's sometimes just me watching YouTube stuff that I've already watched. I do watch the YouTube channel Ahoi has a new video about Stephen Peter Molyne. Oh, we always talk about him sometimes. Yeah, we do. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think, you know,

we always talk about him sometimes. Generally good, like, little video essays, sometimes they're, you know, 10, 15 minutes long, sometimes they're more than an hour. Oh, my God. He's got a video from a couple of years ago on the XCOM franchise. It's nearly two hours long. And maybe I looked at that one time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. So, that's a good channel, and would you recommend that I check out that channel. I would. I already checked it out. You already checked it out. Can you recommend something else for me then?

Let me check. Oh, I can do it. No, Mason. You've recommended enough. I think we've all had a drink. I don't know, man. I think I could recommend. Do you watch the Jeremy Parish video works channel? No, that's not even real. No, it's real. He's got, he goes through, it's like a chronological. Oh, I do know that. Yeah. He does like chronological little, I think it's maybe once a week every um it's like chronological reviews of all games that came out on various systems starting with like the nes and megadrive and genesis whatever yeah but it's fake yeah it's fake he's just making everything up no i think i generally i would say i love his thumbnails yeah they got

a really cool retro yeah and i think he he has a bunch of books as well that are about this concept as well i've got a bunch of books i'm also an author yeah we're all got things going on that's right anyway they're very good and i think they're um they're i think a lot of they're socially acceptable they are socially acceptable i think they're good because i think a lot of history of video game channels it's just like they're reading off the wikipedia but he's doing he's doing a lot of independent research and he's got a lot of like really old media like vhs tapes of like the the video game companies sent out to promo the stuff It's all in Japanese and, you know, it's, where's you getting this stuff?

I don't know, I don't know. Ask him. Probably stealing it. He's probably a thief. It's probably a thief. Yeah, all right, cool. He makes some good video, so I forgive him. Yeah, we don't care.

That's right. Well, let's move on from this. Let's move. It's high time. From this, this life. I think we can all agree this segment is wrapping up. But just for this week. Yep.

Not forever. Yep. Okay. You don't seem convinced. I don't know what's going to happen. Okay. All right. I'm just saying I don't know anything.

Nothing is certain, Mason. so true, isn't it? Everything's in flux. Yeah. You know? Yeah. We're having a good time. What's the next segment of the show? It's called letters. Yeah, play the themes. I found my headphones. I didn't even know you lost. I was looking for this. I was like, fuck, this is Andy. There's my little editing headphones that I carry around with me.

Would you call them your headphones? My headphones. Would I call them that? Would you call them Ed phones? Could you call them Ed phones? Could you call that for me? Yes. Okay. For you anything, except for that. But I am going to do it. Thanks, ma'am. Ah, my headphones. Safe and sounds.

Jokes, I knew I already called them headphones. Damn it. You're going to hear right now. We're going to do that is. Always ten steps ahead. Never. I'm never ahead of anything. I would say I'm a trend follower.

Interesting. Not a trend setter. If you do want to reach the show, it's the easiest thing you could ever do in your life. You could go to the Planet Broadcasting Facebook great mates group. And then you go in there. Seems complicated. And then you'll be, you've got to art. you're going to apply to join.

It's not an apply. And then people, you can't just go in, but then you can be in and you have nice, simple discussions and there's a threat every week. Or you can send Mason at Gmail at Wheatlettonapot at gmail.com. That's true.

Would you want to start? I'll read one right out now. This is from Sean. Sean says, I'm always impressed by how in tune with American culture you are. As I always listening to your Snake Eyes episode, I got to wondering,

is it possible for a couple of Aussie blokes to enjoy Christmas movies with all the snow and snowmen and eight-year-olds trying to murder burglars when your Christmas is at the sweltering height of summer. Cheers, Sean. Doesn't matter to all. Our Christmas is still winter themed for the most bar. Yeah, it's interesting, isn't it?

So you go into a shopping centre or whatever, and it's fake snow and whatever. It's always been that way. That's true, yeah. So, no, I have no problem with it. But also, I love an Australian hot Christmas. Oh, yes. Hot Christmas is good. Have you ever experienced cold Christmas?

No, I've experienced hot Christmas, though, multiple times. I've never done an overseas Christmas, actually. Not either of mine. Yeah. Maybe you would love cold Christmas. I'm not interested, Mason. I'm not buying what you're selling. I'm not picking up what you're putting down.

All right? All I'm saying is for $100,000 you can have a timeshare in the North Pole. I would love $100,000. No, no, no, no. This is a good idea. James, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. James, you're misunderstanding. You give me $100,000, let me finish.

And then I abandon you in the North Pole. Interesting. And this is a hot Christmas, you say. No, James. Wait, would that encourage you to invest? Well, not. Okay, then it's so hot. It's so hot.

And you're not going to be there, is that right? I'm not going to be there. Fantastic. Yeah, you're welcome. Christmas dinner and lunch is different in Australia, though, obviously. Yeah, but it's still got a lot. There's still a roast most of the time. Yeah, we're not also, we're not a turkey nation.

No. Yeah. So, I mean, it's here. You can get it. You can get it. It's not really a thing, though, at terms of. It's not the most popular roast. That's so true, isn't it?

People like a roast pork, a roast chicken. A roast kangaroo. A roast kangaroo. A roast iguana. A roast wombat. Yeah, that's right. All of these things. A roast Grant Denia.

He does not like that. But it's tradition. It's tradition, and that's Australia. Yeah. So, no, it's good. It doesn't matter at all. All our entertainment is from other countries. Well, that's true, yeah.

So it doesn't matter at all. Yeah. This is from Liam. Oh, just wanted to say, there's auto-dubbing on YouTube. This is from Liam McCull there's dubbing on YouTube. That's right, you know him? Yeah, I know him. He re-emails in all the time.

Yeah, yeah, I went to eating with him. Did you? Yeah. There's auto-dubbing on YouTube. Yes. If you've got your language set to another language, I'm not going to turn it off for now. Okay. Because it's an accessibility thing for some people.

Right. And you can turn it off individually. Right. Because if I turn it off, it's off for everybody. Okay. And I know that some people do use it. Right. So I'm sorry.

I didn't do that. But some of the auto-dubbing is bad, apparently. Of course it is. Yeah, yeah. There's also another change that's been made that's killing everybody's algorithm or something. Ours seems to be fine. And I don't know what that is. I don't know what's happening.

But something is being reclassified or something. Yeah. It might be a swearingy thing. But then again, like the second wind got hit and they're not particularly, you know, are they... But they're bad people. I've never met them or know what you're talking about, but they're bad people. That's where all the zero punctuation guys went. Oh.

Yeah. Nice. So make of that what you will. Anyway, this is from Liam MacArthur dubbing. No, this is from Liam McManus from the great mates group. He said, what do you think DC does better than Marvel? And what do you think Marvel does better than DC? Comics or movies or whatever, what would you say?

I mean, I think I'm in the minority here, but I do like that when DC reboot. Here's the thing. I love it when DC incorporates a reboot into the narrative. Yeah, like Watchman. Yes, I love that. You loved that. But the problem is that they do it all. all the time.

Yeah. Like, it's every five years at this point. Like, so, you know, famously Crisis on Infinite Earth in the 80s, you know, yeah, you hate it, but I love it. But the idea was they, they have to reboot the universe and simple, like in the real world sense, the universe was too complicated. They needed to reboot it to make it simpler. They didn't just go, hey, you know what? Next, next month, all the comic books are simpler. They went, let's do a story in story. It's do a bad story. Let's do it, let's do it in story. Put every character in it. Yeah, yeah. Let's do it in story and have the universe get rebooted by

let's make it so James doesn't want to finish it they did successful that's right but like yeah but they do that every yeah because it worked once as a stunt I guess and they're like

they've got it in their heads yeah we can just reboot anything at this point so I think they do that better whereas with Marvel you often never know where they stand yeah something starts

and something starts and ends something that I intensely dislike with Marvel that they do now Spider Man but also that it's a

It's too woke Yes But they constantly Do new number ones Yeah Like in the last five years There's been so many New Iron Man number ones

Like every time they do a They change the creative team They restart the series at number one It's so they can put them in trade paper vats Yeah I was gonna say Do you think this is a pre-MCU thing as well Because is this a like We've got a new movie coming out

This is a jumping off point People will be looking for Right Whatever Yeah it kind of was I think, yeah, because I, you know, because back in the day, it was just like regular numbering. It was like Iron Man 350 or whatever. Iron Man, man, 50.

Is that even still, is there still an ongoing Ironman comic ever? I don't think so. Well, someone should stop that or start it again. I think so, too. But what do Marvel do better? Um, Spider-Man. They do Spider-Man better. Yeah.

Yeah, it's undeniable. Okay, well, Marvel have done movies better. We'll say that. That's true. If we're talking just movies, yes. I think MCU were really good at doing a slow rollout. Yes. that didn't spiral for a time, for a very long time.

And they were able to build flesh out a world and bring in fantastical characters piece by piece where you'd have to believe it. Like characters that you'd think wouldn't work like Thor or even Captain America or like She-Hulk. Some people say that didn't work. But that is, I think it does. That is just She-Hulk from the comics.

Agreed. Translated directly. And I think what DC does well in their new universe in particular, and there's only been one movie need a couple seasons of a show and whatever. It does automatically feel like a lived-in universe where you can put in nonsense characters. Yes.

And you can keep up. But I also think that only works because Marvel already built so much of the infrastructure and what to expect. So you don't need an origin day one, Superman, Batman, whatever. Yeah, yeah. So I guess DC does it well, but because Marvel set the trend. Yeah, nice. And the DC is the best thing ever, mate.

It's so true. That is what we say. Yeah, that's what we say. That's true. And it's to work. It's true. This week we got, last week, we got tagged in a Snyderverse meme. I'm going to bring that up at some point.

I love that. I reinstalled Twitter to read that. Yeah, yeah. Someone took four thumbnails from the Mr. Sunday movies's YouTube channel and they put them together and either like maliciously or without checking to see what the videos contained. Yeah. The thumbnail was intended to suggest. that we hate all Superman media

except for the James Gunn Superman movie and then a bunch, a small number of people were like, these guys suck, but underneath there was like 200 people going. You're an idiot. Have you not watched these videos or whatever. But what happened was because I scrolled through that thread, my Twitter algorithm got reset,

so it was all Snyder stuff. Oh, no. Like just, I had to mute so many people. I wouldn't. Everybody's still mad about everything. Yeah, of course they are. Well, Twitter's also the worst, and only the worst people are on there.

That's true. I am on there, and I love it. What I also, what was the thing that I loved about that? Oh, because I would also say, because I think somebody even said, like, they probably record that James Gunn one is the best Superman movie, and it might be. Yeah, it might be. That might actually be my opinion.

I'm like, maybe I do think that. I don't know, it just came out. I mean, I loved the Reeve one, the first two. Yeah. But that was a long time ago. They came out before I was born. It'd be unfortunate if movies in this genre just never got better. Yeah.

Like, well, this is much worse. Yeah. you know let's make something worse again next time that's right yeah yeah what else you got mason his name out from katherine yeah uh hi james amesa hello good start i work with legal case management software for a large law firm me too next month my bosses are sending me to a conference hosted by a new software vendor exciting stuff so far this is great imagine my surprise and confusion when i discovered that one of the keynote speakers is bob odenkirk why i don't know to be clear this isn't some big convention in a fancy city for fancy high-powered lawyers it's a schmooze training

hosted by a specific software company to promote their industry-specific product in Utah. What's going on here? I don't know. She says, I know celebs do paid speaking gigs all the time. But other than playing a lawyer on TV, what could Bob Odenkirk possibly have to say about legal case management software for 45 minutes? Sometimes they'll get out these guys. Because I know people in Australia who work for whatever the fuck.

I don't know what any of my friends do for jobs. They put on a suit and then they cry at their cubicle. That's right. That's not a shot. It's just the reality. It's just human existence. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They email you during the day to tell you that's what they're doing.

I'm in so many group chats. I am the hardest working person of all my friends, which is ridiculous. Because look at what I do. It's nonsense. But they get out speakers all the time. In Melbourne, it's mostly guys who used to play footy. Or Jamoan. Or Jamoan.

Or Carl Barron. Yeah, and they'll just be like, Dermit Brennan, legend of the game. What do you think of whatever? It's like, I remember when I played in the 80-9 grand final against July. I play with a punctured lung or whatever. It's like, good on you, damn me, you're good bike. And it's that. Like, I know someone who had Kathy...

It's about grit and determination. Yeah, I know someone who had Kathy Freeman come and to them do it speak and whatever. Which is great. Kathy Freeman's a fucking legend. But I think it's just... We could probably get this guy. Yeah, for sure.

Just let him do whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, and also, the... Catherine says, realistically, it'll probably just be a generic motivational speech with maybe some very tenuous links to software. But now I kind of feel like I have to go just to find out. Of course you do.

Absolutely. Because that is, I would imagine for a bunch of people, this is just like, I'll skip this one. I'll just say it. I'll say I'm sick. I wouldn't skip that one. Yeah, yeah, that's what I'm saying. If I could go to that, I would. Yeah, yeah, 100%.

And also, I would imagine, in a way, it's a perfect gig because people would recognize you as the celebrity. And if you know anything about what they're doing, they'd be like, this is incredible. This is crazy. Bob Odenkirk knows about our management software or whatever. But if he doesn't, that's also funny. Do you think you'll stay for a story? a drink. No, no, they asked him him him out a secret door.

That's right. They put him in a van. They put him in a van. I don't know what's happening. But if he doesn't know anything about it, that's funny too. Yeah, it is. I love everything about this. Please go and email back. She says, no idea if I'll get to meet Bobby O, but if I do, is there anything, I should ask him. I don't know. Why are you here? Yep.

It's a great question. How much? How much? Just say how much. Say this. On Celebritynetworth.com, it says your net worth is $16 million. dollars is that not enough net worth to live off you want more is that accurate yeah oh great point i would say it's probably would that be low ball in it considering nobody and nobody too what do you get paid for one of those got a call soil a couple mill probably and he died as well he'd want more money he did fucking die because he died after the first one yeah yeah yeah i reckon i reckon the the paycheck for how many seasons better call soul five yeah yeah something like that yeah that's that's a lot of by the end of that that's a lot of money yeah you know per

episode. He'd be doing six episodes, six seasons, sorry. I wouldn't say million and an amp, but it would be in the hundreds of thousands. It wouldn't be like friends money. No. Yeah, that doesn't really exist anymore. Yeah, no, that's probably true. Yeah, I'd say. Depending on, it's sort of depending what it is. Straight up how much money, Bob Odenkirk, how much you're making for this. Yeah. Yeah. He's not Jamaican. Uh, Mason. Yes. You're welcome. You can use that. I was going to use it, honestly, before you got in there. Clinton Grant has written in and said What are your guys

What are your guys's enthusiasm for movies lately? Does a podcast feel more like a job or is it still powered by passion? Personally, I don't get too excited for films like I did in 2019 That's also just getting older. Don't worry, it comes around again. That's right. It comes around your twilight years. Yeah, we're about to go out.

That's right. Superman had me going, but that's about it. I mean, it ebbs and flows, but I'd probably talk about this a lot, but I love it. Like, I love doing this. I appreciate we've been. been given sort of the opportunity to branch out like the the fact that we're not just like we're comic book break down trailer guys yes and superhero which is fine yeah yeah but also the

idea that we've we've gone you know what we we're gonna make a conscious decision to cover stuff that isn't superhero stuff you know and and people have gone with us on that yeah they're willing to listen to our nonsense yeah even if it's not about iron man or whatever so it's gonna be it's gonna be yeah yeah so no i mean it is i i mean it is i i No, I love it. And also, like, I probably, people are often surprised how much I haven't seen. Right. Because they were like, if you're seeing this streaming show, I'm like, I've never even heard of that.

There's just so much stuff. So from that perspective, it can be like, I guess overwhelming. Yeah. But, you know, we mostly watch the stuff we're either interested in or. That's true. For good or ill. Yes. Yeah.

And. Well, like, what's this going to turn out to be? Oh, it was boring. I was a shame. That's right. Yeah. I mean, generally speaking, you know, I think a lot of people would, I think some people would probably say we are, you know, because our review system is best movie ever or worst movie ever, we give way more best movie ever than most.

But one that is like you said, it's choosing stuff we know we're probably going to like. But also, like, I think movies are back. I think there's been just a lot of good movies. Yeah, maybe the box office isn't. Yeah, it's been a good year. Any other masons? Here's one more email from Alan. Alan's subject line says, Gen Z does love treasure hunting because, you know, the...

No. This would be some kind of virtual thing. Now, Alan says, it's one piece. Disney wishes they had bought one piece. Well, they didn't. Yeah, they didn't. Best, Alan. Can I be the official West Phoenix, Arizona listener of the pod?

Good luck with your Rick Reordens' Percy Jackson series instead. That's right. A show that some people probably watch it. Should have got one piece. Yeah. Are you excited for the Percy Jackson series on Caravanna Garbage that came out? It's already been out. I'm excited for that thing we already did, yes.

For Boyks now at this point? Yes, I am, yeah. Did you notice how the second one didn't do as well? It's probably the algorithm killing. us. Yeah, probably that setting that somebody changed. It's probably setting, setting somebody changed. Probably the dubbing.

Probably the dubbing, the auto-dubbing it's doing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. They should have just let us know. I would dub my own voice in Español. Same. There's a lot of people and it doesn't happen as much now or it does more with AI. My Spanish is Fuego. Is it?

Which is fire. That's good. I already knew that. That it was fire and what that meant. Yes. But for years, you get a lot of like, we can auto-dub your video. I'll dub your videos. we will dub your videos into other languages

and you can have multiple channels and I'm like that's an interesting concept is to Sunday movies in Espanel Exactly but then I'm like I don't think this would work Getting two guys to recreate And do very obscure references Yeah I don't

And like I don't think the translation Would Imagine imagine them doing Imagine them doing the Winter Soldier episode They'd be like Los Franco Cozor I mean it would be fun to say Yeah I guess it would be If we get some Spanish sheds later

Yes So I did think about that for a time. Lost Martin and Malloy. Yeah. But now it's just, I guess it's happening automatically regardless of my decision. Yeah. I got one more from Philip Carpanella who says, What's the longest walk you've ever done?

Ooh. I've done a few like week-long hikes and stuff. What have you done, Mason? Or do they mean without a break? No, oh, without a break. Yeah. Oh, probably 10 hours maybe? 10 hours?

Maybe, yeah. I don't know, man. With a pack. What about you? Less than that. 12 hours? No, that's more. Four days more.

No, that's again, that is... With a break. No. That's with a break though. No, no, no, no. I guess if it was over days, I... Since things you brought it up, I did kill him in Jaro. It's four days up, two days down.

Oh, yeah? So, you know, that was up. Okay. Yeah, did Wilson's prom seven days. I don't know. All right. I'm doing a Japan thing next year. I'll already done.

Yeah, pretty good. That'll be four days up, two days down. Do you think? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know.

You don't have a specific. I mean, you do a lot of walking. I like to walk around. Yeah, we also do a lot of walks together. They're like, we do walking around. Yeah, we do them walking around. Don't look at us though. Do not look at us.

Do not look at us in the eye or anywhere. No, don't look at any part of us. I think that's the show. The whole show, folks. Thank you so much for listening. Thank you for sticking around for two weeks where I had a real people were loving it Mason

also people were like why you making Mason work I was like take a break yeah look honestly James made me do it I said let's be real folks take a break

just take a week yeah he should take a week off when you're feeling good but no no no no Mason had to be all the hero I want a martyr That's right. I mean, it's not like

when I got my fucking gallbladder out and did an episode. Did you? That's a real hero, Mason. Wow. That's a real American hero. I don't know, man. Sounds communist to me.

No? Yeah, no. I would never. Wow. Yeah. You gave that gallbladder to the people. Yeah. They divided it up.

Yeah, they did. It's true, yeah. Yeah. What else? Folks, thank you so much for listening. We absolutely appreciate it. Thank you for telling your friends about the podcast because that is how we get new listeners.

Thank you for leaving a five-star review on your podcast app of choice. If you do so, James will find it. He'll read that review. You can be silly as all heck. He'll still read it. The silliest thing you've ever seen. This is from Armchair Engineer from the USA.

He says, The Rookie is my favourite show I've never seen. Also looking forward to the Snake Eyes review next week. Next week. It might actually be next week because we don't know what we're doing. We don't know. We don't know. Some Kaid in the UK says,

betrayed. What do you mean? His name isn't James Sunday. Responsible for 10 years of awkward laughing. It's on public transport. We're sorry. James Sunday. would be essentially the funniest name ever, wouldn't it?

Probably would be, actually. But it's not. No. It's Mr. Sunday. Movies. Movies. And TV shows. Yes.

Streaming, sorry. Mr. Sunday movie streaming. What else, Mason? Folks, if you want to get into contact with us, you can go to weekly planet pod adjemal.com, or you can go to the Planet Broadcasting, Greatmates, Facebook group, or the weekly Planet Podcast, subreddit and Discord for Funcivil chats about podcasts and pop culture. You have a great time over there. to Surabi and Masey and Fidel. They moderate those forums.

They make little videos for TikTok and for the weekly planet clips channel. We actually think it's good what they're doing. I think it's good. Yeah. For now. For now, yeah. I mean, they could dip to a dip in quality.

We all do. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, then they'd be back stronger than ever. Probably. But then they dip again. Yeah. Because that's the circle of life. And that's two warnings.

That's right. They don't want to get to three warnings. No. Because then we'd have to add like additional warnings. So many more warnings. We'd have time for that. Yeah, God. We'd probably get them to do it.

I reckon, yeah, you'd just add, God, just add as many warnings as you need to retire and that's fine. It's good for us. Yeah, just add that to the spreadsheet. It's good for us and it's good for you. That's so true. I'm looking about upcoming movies next week. I don't think there is really anything next week. But is there streaming something? There might be. We didn't get, we didn't get fight or flight until recently. That's the Josh Hartman one. It's bullet train, but on a plane. Oh, bullet plane.

Bullet plane on a train. So maybe that one, but I mean, maybe the moment's past. But maybe we could watch it simply because we love the movies.
